Alright so I understand the basic way to implement a map system with the int[][]. I just cant get my head around how to do it with preset coords rather than in the loop it just multiples its position in the array by the tile size and inside of the int[][] you have a character representation of tiles.

We (friend of me and I) wrote the mapeditor at first. We to save it, we serialize our Mapobject and to load it, we deserialze it I just use xml for websites. I prefere mysql and use the serialize function. But that's a matter of opinion
